CyberBytes404 is a community-focused nonprofit initiative designed to introduce kids to coding, electronics, and cybersecurity through fun, hands-on projects.
Our primary focus is kids between the ages of 10 and 14, although some projects may be suitable for younger or older students depending on their experience.
Nope! Our goal is to make technology approachable and fun. Projects are designed to introduce concepts gradually, so beginners can jump right in.
We primarily use MicroPython and CircuitPython because they make it easy for students to see their code come to life through electronics and interactive projects.
Projects can include programmable badges, LEDs, sensors, microcontrollers, small games, electronics projects, and introductory cybersecurity activities.
No. Our goal is to make these opportunities accessible regardless of a family's financial situation. Whenever possible, equipment and project materials are provided at no cost.
Absolutely. We focus on responsible cybersecurity education, online safety, critical thinking, and understanding how technology works. Activities are designed to provide a safe and controlled learning environment.
Technology is becoming a bigger part of everyday life. Learning cybersecurity can help kids understand the technology they use while developing valuable skills such as problem-solving, research, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.
You can support us by volunteering, donating equipment, helping with projects, spreading the word, or simply encouraging a young person to explore technology.
